Benham, I will limit this message to your comment to me and a few verses from the Quran. Please post this as I will not comment on my own in this non-Islamic publication. > I agree that the newsgroup is NOT Islamic. What > determines the nature of the newsgroup is the articles > that are posted on it. If instead of sending us personal > attacks and false accusations you send us substansive > articles about Islam, that would help make the newsgroup > more Islamic. Al-Imran (Family of Jesus) Chapter III, Verse 28 Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers; if any do that, in nothing will there be help from God: except by way of precaution, that you may guard yourselves from them. But God cautions you to remember Him. For the final goal is God. Baqara (The Cow) Chapter II, verse 105 It is never the wish of those without faith among the People of the Book (Jews & Christians), or the pagans that anything good should come down to you from your Lord. But God will choose for His special mercy whom He will - for God is the Lord of grace abounding. verse 109 Quite a number of the People of the Book (J & C) wish they could turn you back to infidelity after you have believed, for selfish envy, after the truth has become manifest to them: but forgive and overlook, til God accomplish His purpose; for God has power over everything. verse 120 Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with you unless you follow their form of religion. Say: "The guidance of God,- that is the only Guidance." Were you to follow their desires after the knowledge that has reached you, then you would find no protector or helper against God. Omar
